[Cob] Searching for people who do natural building in Germany or Europe or people who are interested in that

[Feile Butler]

Hi Luchs

I suggest you contact Uta Herz, herz at earthbuidling.eu, based in the 
Earth Building School in Wangelin, about 150km north of Berlin. They run 
lots of natural building programmes, including earth, lime and straw 
bale at the centre there. There is also a museum of earth building close 
by, as well as some innovative natural building projects in the local 
village.
